- The summer Olympics are coming to Paris! One of the oldest sports in the Olympics is fencing. It is said that the tip of the fencing weapon is the second fastest moving object in sport; the first is the marksman's bullet. Today, I am challenging a Dutch Champion in the fastest sport: Konrad Veenenbos. As I am almost 2 meters tall, my arms may be an advantage. Can I challenge the Dutch champion and score a point? Let’s take it to the test. Enjoy.

whoa thought this channel would have had way more subscribers
Thanks Nico. Appreciate it; working on it! There will be videos like this coming up every week, so stay tuned for more! What other sports should I try?
@@CuriousMick try AFL
Good idea!
@@CuriousMick thanks man
@@CuriousMick you should quidditch. There’s a bunch of videos on the common sports so I’d be more interested in more uncommon sports.
Thank you for giving more exposure to fencing!! Try Sabre next time hahaha
Nice vid!
Have you met Tulen or Van Nunen or Verwijlen before? That would be really cool
Thanks! Unfortunately not. Maybe in the future. Was great fencing with Konrad, as he is regarded as the new Verwijlen or Tulen or Van Nunen. Let's see where he is in 4 years - hopefully at the Olympic Games 2028 :-) What other sports should I try?
Thanks for the content 🔥
Thanks! Make sure to stay tuned, as there will be more vids coming up.
Sabre is the discipline that has tip speed clocked at .22lr bullet speeds.
I have to correct, the most promising fencer rn for the netherlands is Tristan Tulen (qualified for the olympics). Just as fun fact
You are correct! Maybe a better phrasing would have been: most promising fencing talent :-) Both are incredible athletes. Wishing Tristan all the best at the Olympics!
I have your mentality, your videos are amazing can we ask you to try things we can't
Thanks! What do you have in mind?😃
You should have done sabre
Who knows a next time :-) Epee resulted in a cool fight already! What was your favorite point?
As a sabeur myself, i would agree....however, epee's lack of right of way makes it a LOT easier for non-fencers to understand.
If possible, you might want to try HEMA next.
Cool idea! Will check it out for sure :-)
what shoe is he wearing?
Asik
For a second I thought you went full communist, adressing the guy as a "comrad"😂😂
